This belongs in your ear!


I cannot get this song out of my head. It speaks to how I am feeling so much right now. I sing it over and over in the car. What a release. I love when a song just hits on a time in your life and makes you feel like the song was written for you or by you. I think a new mixed CD is in my future!!

Gone
It's hard for me to see when I'm wrong
It's hard for me to weep when I'm strong
But I could never sleep when you're gone
Oh but still, If you were gonna crucify me
I wouldn't want nobody to see
'Cause you could kick me hard when I'm down
Down, down, down

I don't wanna be nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How I long to be a shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all. At all

Over it
Hey, it's not that you would mess with my head
I believe that you believe what you said
You think you know me best and you care
But that's not fair!
'Cause I don't really want to be safe
It must have been the way I was raised
Sleep with one eye open I say
Hey hey hey

I don't wanna be nobody's fool
I've played that part so many times before
How I long to be a shadow on the wall
I will make no sound at all
And when the sun goes down
The shadow on the wall
It cannot be seen at all At all
Oh, how I long to be a shadow on the wall
I would make no sound at all
At all

-'Shadow on the Wall' By Brandi Carlile, from the Album "The Story"
